i'd like to add an additional clause (does this need a seperate poll) that i control the mining decentral building and a 5m margin around it from bedrock to sky (although, as per an unwritten server rule, lord_dc can still mine and cave under it).

hmm, who owns the green again? also, imagine the chunk error going horizontal was extended. i would like to have my desert region increased to there since 1. i have an outpost there and 2. with my new mob factory i'm going to need a lot more sand for my gunpowder, you can see i've already finished nearly 1/3 of the yellow area. of course, if Lord_DC runs out of sand he can always talk to me and mine there. as for the jungle i guess we could both own there was Lord_DC and I currently don't techinically own a jungle yet and jungle wood is ez.pz

Also Blotz, you don't need to claim a desert to gather sand from it. You could also set up a portal in a far away desert and gather sand there with donkey and enderchest. Ofc it's easier to do closer to your base but it also leaves an ugly environment, but it's your choice.
